New - Ultralight Birch Marlin Pair

595.00

New ultralight design! Only 5 lbs/pr.

The "ultralight" is the same build quality as our popular Marlin speaker - with standard polished and oiled internals, custom 2D and 3D constrained layered damping materials...the works. But instead of being built in heavy duty 3/4" plywood, these are built in ultralightweight 6mm (1/4") Birch plywood. The Initial production batches sounded and measured phenomenally well. Somehow, the room presence and sonic imaging qualities are especially good in this miniaturized Marlin design.

Functional furniture

Form Follows Function

Real speakers should be made of thick veneer polished plywood because whenever the speakers are not being fed a signal from your receiver/amplifier they become pieces of wooden sculpture. All these beautiful materials fastened and combined together also become the acoustic properties of the speaker.

Good Vibrations

Higher-efficiency by tuning the damping materials.

Fastening every single part of the speaker together with sandwiched damping materials between them has given excellent results. With the tuned, sandwiched damping materials I am now able to passively filter out unwanted resonances with accuracy because every absorptive material has been tuned and located to only absorb the problem frequency ranges at each site inside the speaker. What's left after all those unwanted mechanical and acoustic resonances are filtered away is the glorious sonic benefit of having used natural materials in the first place.
